  • Firefly and Midjourney for Production Design

    Where generative fits real workflows:

    • Firefly Style Match: keep a reference look locked, then generate variations that stay on-brand.
    • Midjourney upscaler v6: cleaner type edges; better for mock UI screens without heavy retouch.
    • Prompt discipline: specify camera, lens, material, lighting, and negative prompts (“no text”, “no watermark”).
    • Round-trip: generate base art → finish in Photoshop with Gen Fill for cleanup → drop into Illustrator for vector overlays.
    • Usage check: always verify licensing on Firefly outputs if they’ll ship to clients.

    Tip prompt: “studio product shot, 50mm, soft light, matte glass, color-block backdrop, no text, no watermark.”

  • Photoshop Gen Fill and Smarter Selections

    Photoshop’s latest Gen Fill and selections updates to speed production:

    • Gen Fill v3: better edge fidelity on hair/fur and complex shadows; works on smart objects without rasterizing.
    • Reference Image slot: lock a source look so your fills stay consistent across a batch.
    • Segment Anything-based “Object Selection”: single-click isolate products on messy backgrounds.
    • Non-destructive light matching: apply to a new layer with mask; no baked-in exposure shifts.
    • Export presets with AVIF + WebP alongside legacy JPG/PNG.

    Workflow: run Object Selection > Gen Fill with a locked reference > finish with a curve on a clipped layer for micro-contrast.
